Tree Trimming

Have you heard of tree trimming? If not, don’t worry. This is often used for commercial needs. For example, it is mostly done at nurseries to promote healthier tree growth. Trimming is where the lower branches of the tree are removed from the trunk. By doing so, we discourage animals from lurking around the area and eating the branches. Besides this, it can also help to improve the appearance of the tree and make it look neater.

Why should you consider tree trimming?

Well, it is one of the most important parts of yard maintenance. You not only show that you care about how your yard looks, but it also shows that you care for your surroundings and those around you! Why? Because you will be minimizing the risks of having branches fall over to your neighbors’ property, potentially damaging anything it may fall onto. Trimming also improves the health of trees. Removing dead branches can benefit a tree’s health. It also encourages trees to develop a stronger core structure which allows them to withstand various elements. Not only that, but it can also accentuate a tree’s physical appearance. What’s more, is that it can also help to improve flower or fruit production! Who wouldn’t want more quality fruits, right? Imagine the satisfaction of being able to pluck fresh fruits from your home-grown tree instead of heading off to the market to get fruits.

When is the best time for you to have your trees trimmed? It seems that the best time to trim your trees is during late winter while they are dormant. It seems that during the dormant season, the wounds inflicted on the tree when trimming would heal faster, ensuring that the plant stays strong. Now, the question is, how often should you trim your trees? It is suggested to have your trees trimmed at least once per year. How to trim your trees, safely? There is actually a size guide available to help you determine if it is safe to cut the branches.
